I also have grown African Violets with success. Today we'll focus on violets of blue. Does anyone like violets or the color?

Janean,
My favorite memory of that color is going to my great Aunt Martha's in the spring. She had a hugh lilac tree and we would come home with bundles of lilacs for our vases. The house smelled wonderful!

I love violets and the color.
I've never had any luck at all growing them tho.
I have wild ones in my yard.
The dishes are so delicate looking.

Good Morning Janean! I love violets and the color...my Nana used to have violets in her garden. She also grew African Violets and she was very good at propagating them..she would cut off a leaf and put in dirt under a little glass and eventually it would begin to root and grow. Her house was always filled with flowers even in winter. I love the teapot and cups! Beautiful pictures as usual. Have a wonderful weekend. Maura
Hi Janean,
I love violets! Not to mention the color. When I walk into a garden shop,
I am always drawn to anything the color violet. I have thought of making a small garden with just that color. Oh, first flower I could ever grow as a newly married was African violets. Till babies came and wanted to eat the potting soil. :)
Violets...yes
My mother's name is Violet and she's hated it all her life...but I like it...my mother was born on the first day of spring
I don't have any violets now, but I do have a green thumb for house plants and they are my favorites...always flowering when I seem to need it
the color violet is a regal color
and inspiring
and the violets in the garden...I just let them have theie way..they are sso beautiful...and happy
another great post
I begin my day with you..dear Janean..A blessed Good Friday to you
purple..the color of suffering too
I love the little violets that show up each year at the edge of the flower beds. You're right - that dark green against the bright violet is just heart-melting.
I have violets on my kitchen wallpaper, but in a blue color, not purple. They are such a lovely, old fashioned flower. They are my Mom's favorite. And purple/violet/lilac is one of my favorite colors to wear.
I do...love that tea set! I have always liked this, especially at Easter time. Have a great weekend and come say hi :D (my new post is not showing up on blog lists again!)
My dear friend, violets are some of the most beautiful flowers in color. Every photo represented a favorite ~ at the top of my list is the stitching, so delicate, second of course, the desert.
I love you!

I raised African Violets for many years, but I don't have any now, and I miss them......
I love the colors of violet and blue...... but.... I love ALL colors!
Hugs,
Janean, this is so lovely. Each photo is charming. I love the color violet and I've just recently planted woodland violets in a wild area of our lot. The little violet dishes are really special.
I love all your violet pics. Lovely. Your blog has fun written all over it. I add your "chair" to my sidebar. Come visit my blog at goatseathay.blogspot.com.
Hi Janean, You really come up with some amazing photos for your colors themes which I enjoy.... The effort you put into making each post concerning color is quite an Art form in it's self...
Thanks for inspiring*
My favourite colour darling, love this post. Luv, popped in to wish you and your family a joyous and blessed Easter.
Love & Hugs

I adore violets and they are just now starting to pop up in the yard. They were also my grandma's favorite flower so they always remind me of her.
I love the third picture of the violet pattern dishes!
I don't mind the color violet but I don't use it much. I haven't had an African Violet in years. I think I will go out and get one!
Janean (Love this spelling!),
I've been perusing your blog and love it. I love various shades of violet. The room you show decorated with a bit of yellow is great! I like all these photos. The fleur-de-lis is wonderful! I've never grown African violets...I'm too scared to try, in fear I'd kill them in short time, but I remember my Great Grandma taking much pride in hers.
I LOVE the second set of dishes on here....any idea of the pattern name or manufacturer?
